on 3/8/12 Skylo had another exam under anesthesia and his second chemo ,the exam really went well , the oncologist Dr Stratton reported that the tumors in the baby's eyes had shrunken by 80% , and the tumors that did not shrink had not grown and were so tiny they may try removing them on his next exam with a laser , this was awesome news considering he had only had one partial dose of the drug , after he was awake he was admitted again , chemo was started that night and mom and dad could go home on Sunday if everything went OK , well this time around Skylo got pretty sick , he had horrible diarrhea and was throwing up buckets , his blood counts also took a turn for the worst and he needed a transfusion twice , it was very frightening for us because they warned of all of the possible side effects from a transfusion , mainly for skylo it was his face swelled pretty bad and the gave him a diuretics to get rid of the extra fluid , on the good side was he almost immediately felt better , phew 2 chemos down , 4 to go
